To assess Internet use and perceptions of formation reliability by parents in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
A standardized questionnaire study.
A total of 100 parents were approached and 90% participated. In all, 79% owned a computer, 85.5% had Internet access, and 75.5% regularly spent >1 to 2 hour/day on the computer. There was a significant reduction in the proportion of parents using the Internet after birth of their baby (before birth: nonmedical searches 84% and medical searches 47%; after birth: nonmedical searches 40% and medical searches 29%; p<0.0001 and <0.03, respectively). Internet access was more likely in those with higher level of education (p=0.006) and fluency in reading English (p=0.05). In all, 80% considered the NICU doctors as a reliable source of medical information compared with 10% in the case of the Internet.
Although a considerable proportion of parents use the Internet for medical information, many still view the information obtained as unreliable.
评估新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中家长的互联网使用情况以及对信息可靠性的认知。
一项标准化问卷调查研究。
共邀请了100位家长，90%参与了调查。总体而言，79%的家长拥有电脑，85.5%能上网，75.5%的家长每天在电脑上花费超过1至2小时。孩子出生后，使用互联网的家长比例显著下降（出生前：非医学搜索占84%，医学搜索占47%；出生后：非医学搜索占40%，医学搜索占29%；p分别<0.0001和<0.03）。受教育程度较高（p=0.006）且英语阅读流利（p=0.05）的家长更有可能上网。总体而言，80%的家长认为NICU医生是可靠的医学信息来源，而认为互联网信息可靠的家长仅占10%。
尽管相当一部分家长通过互联网获取医学信息，但许多家长仍认为所获信息不可靠。
